A
There are any opposite things, which cannot be united by any people. But, there will always be a chance to unite two different things in one work. The following explanation will tell you ore about the possibility to cobine painting and poetry.
Perhaps, it is not a new idea to tell people that they can actually produce the great work through cobining the painting and poes. In this case, we can unite both things in two ways. The first thing is to ake poes as the ain inspiration to do paintings. It is also possible to write a poe after looking at the painting. That will be the great first recoended way people can look at.
What about the next idea to cobine painting and poetry? In this case, we can cobine both of the on the canvas. You can do a good painting on the canvas and then write down the poe on that painting. It is a unique artwork and will be a good exaple to be looked at. I do not knohether this kind of concept has been used before. But this is the quite great new idea for e.

A poe is a good work to represent a story or a thought. It is not too long and coplicated. It is a series of words arranged in stanza (節(jié)) and lines. So, cobining it with another type of art (such as painting) will be very good. You can get the essage of the poe through the colors and "story" on the canvas. Do you want to try it out? All you need to do is to play with your creativity in aking a painting with the right color coposition and also the great words on it.

Once upon a tie, a doting other asked Albert Einstein what she should read to her son to help hi grow up as brilliant and intelligent as the faous scientist.
“Fairy-tales,” he said, wisely nodding his head.
Why? Why would Albert Einstein — the Nobel Prizes winning physicist recoend reading fairy-tales? Was he joking? All the evidence suggests he was deadly serious. He also said, “When I exaine yself and y ethods of thought, I coe to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has eant ore to e than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.”
Childhood is one of the factors that blur (使變模糊) the distinctions between the self and other objects. Thus fantasy stories appeal to children and appear to ake sense to the.
There are several coonly accepted genres (流派) of fantasy, “Anial Fantasy” which centers around the lives of lovable talking anials and “odern Fantasy” which focuses on adventures in other worlds and agical events. I a inclined to add a third genre “Huan and Anial Fantasy”, which ixes huan and anial characters. Another genre of fantasy ay be “High Fantasy” which features heroes who cobat evil and save the world fro destruction.
Fantasy feeds a child’s iagination and encourages creativity. The enjoyent that the genre engenders (產(chǎn)生) prootes reading and enhances literacy. oreover, the fantasy genre ay be used for teaching purposes. For exaple: A story about cruelty to anials would liit appeal to a child; however a fantasy celebration of closeness between the children and their pets ay give an eleent of exciteent as the children are able to save anials fro soeone with cruel intentions.
Children love the Harry Potter series, and if they only see the ovies they iss a great opportunity to develop their reading skills by spending tie with the lovable young wizards and witches (巫婆)of the Hogwarts counity.

“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children coes fro those who do not wish children to be frightened,” writes C.S. Lewis in an essay naed Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say that children ust not be frightened ean two things. Firstly, they ean that we ustn’t do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their inds that they are born into a world of death, violence (暴力), wounds, good and evil (邪惡). C.S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.
He goes on to coent, “Since it is so likely that they will eet cruel (殘酷的) eneies, let the at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By liiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alaring ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.” “It would be nice,” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright chapion in aror, is a better cofort than the idea of the police.”
Bruno Bettelhei, a well-known child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have any personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories cofort the and offer solutions. Happy endings tell the that solutions and hope are real and odel the kind of happy life children want to find.
A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. It’s believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas fro books to reality. It’s what good literature does — it akes life larger.

A. He is a policean in real life.
B. He is a urderer caught by the police.

D. He is a frightening person in a story.
53. Why should children read fantasy literature according to Bruno Bettelhei?
A. Because it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies.
B. Because it helps children overcoe fears and find solutions.
C. Because it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories.
D. Because it gives children a happy eory when they grow up.

第一節(jié) 閱讀表達 （共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分）
閱讀下面的短,并根據(jù)短后的要求答題（請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求）。
[1] Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, soe people are worrying about the possibility that cellphones, power lines and WiFi could be responsible for a range of illnesses.
[2] Cailla Rees, an investent banker in the US, oved out of her apartent. She said that when her neighbors oved in and installed a WiFi router (路由器) she lost her ability to think clearly. Since then, she’s been on a oveent against low-level electroagnetic fields (電磁場), or EFs. And she’s not alone. illions of people say they suffer fro headaches and depression when they’re too close to cellphones or other sources of EFs. If these fears are justified (有正當理由的), then perhaps we should all be worried about the aount of tie we spend talking on our phones or plugging into WiFi hotpots.
[3] Soe say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environental health sciences, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukeia(白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tuors (腫瘤). But others believe _________________. Dr artha Linet at the US National Cancer Institute has reached a different conclusion. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s uch danger,” said Linet.
[4] Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EFs and illness — so weak that it ight not exist at all. A ultinational investigation (調(diào)查) of cellphones and brain cancer has been underway for several years. The final report should coe out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.
[5] According to Robert Park, a professor of physics, the agnetic waves（電磁波）aren’t nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA, which is how known threats, such as UV rays and X-rays, cause cancer.
56. List three sources of EFs based on the text. (no ore than 5 words)
① ________________ ② ________________ ③ ________________
57. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no ore than 8 words)

One possible version:
Jack is a good student who loves reading very uch. Whenever he has difficulty, he will take out a book and try to find solutions in it.
One day, Jack read an article about the benefits of fishing and he wanted to have a try. He opened a book and found the saying that “fish cannot live without water”. So he decided to find where there is enough water. Near his house, there is a deep well. “What a wonderful place for fishing!” said Jack and he carried his fishing rod to the well. He waited for a long tie but caught nothing.
The picture reinds us that gaining knowledge fro books is essential, but understanding knowledge is even ore iportant. Different situations require us to understand and use the knowledge gained fro books differently.
